1. It Overtakes Me – Flaming Lips:

So I put on my iPod for the slow walk from the room to breakfast this morning, and this was the first song to come on when I hit shuffle, because sometimes it’s nice to be surprised. And it was the perfect song to start the day, the weekend, the year, the perfect song to explain just what music does, what I’m trying to do here, what it all just is. A bassline of style and grace to carry the load, and a repeated lyric to reiterate a single point. “And I'm scared, thinkin' 'bout the way that I / Don't understand anything at all / And how it overtakes me, and I am just so small / Do I stand a chance?” Let’s find out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUljHD4JJ1U
